December 5, 2025Structural Steel’s Embodied Carbon Down More Than 10% Since 2021 Industry-Wide EPDs
Three trends are driving the striking reduction in embodied carbon: less use of ore-based metallics (OBMs), a greener U.S. electrical grid, and more onsite renewable energy generation. The latter two factors are vital because hot-rolled structural steel members are made in electric arc furnaces, and most of the emissions associated with that production process come from the power grid.
